Notes About Building

- Notes About Building:
- The
MAKE command behaves differently outside of the shell.
- When used from outside of the NeXtMidas shell,
MAKE builds the NeXtMidas
"boot" libraries.
- This is necessary since the
MAKE command is used to perform the
initial build of NeXtMidas.
- See the NeXtMidas User's Guide for details.
- There is a simplified way of building sets of native libraries.
- No
make or .b files required.
- The
BUILD explain file has details.
- All OS-dependent files are automatically tagged.
- This allows libraries for multiple platforms (e.g. Linux and Solaris) to coexist
in the same directory.
- NeXtMidas does not build native libraries on Windows.
- Most Windows users do not have access to a C compiler.
- The native SYS libraries come pre-built with NeXtMidas.
- A section in the NeXtMidas User's Guide
explains how to build native libraries on Windows.
X-Midas Users Take Note: |
Most versions of X-Midas do not support the idea of tagging all OS-dependent files. As a
result, different platforms can not share a single X-Midas installation that may be on
an NFS-mounted drive. NeXtMidas does not have this limitation, but would require that the
libraries for each platform be built.
